6 years agoNew York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso brushed off a slow start to the Home Run Derby Monday and took home the trophy with a clutch final two rounds. Alonso needed nearly every second to top Carlos Santana in the first round before ousting Ronald Acuna Jr. and then Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the final round. The fact that Alonso was able to outlast Guerrero, who dominated the competition up to the final, was an impressive feat. It remains to be seen whether the Home Run Derby will hamper the rookie in the second half. He will take a .280 average and 30 home runs into the next half of the season beginning Friday.--Adam

2 days agoNew York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk and a grand slam in a 10-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday. Alonso launched his first homer of the season off Cal Quantrill in the fifth inning to break the game open and give the Mets a 6-1 lead. The shot traveled 400 feet and had an exit velocity of 105.9 MPH. Alonso is off to a slow start through his first four games of the season as he came into the game with just one hit on the young season. After Monday's performance, Alonso is hitting .231 with one homer, two runs, and four RBI through 13 at-bats. He will hope Monday's performance kick-starts his bat moving forward.--Matt T - RotoBaller

4 weeks agoAfter a substandard season in 2024, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso worked hard in the offseason to figure out why his swing got "out of control" in the regular season, per The Athletic's Will Sammon. Co-hitting coach Eric Chavez said Alonso learned the importance of his hips as a power source. Alonso has his hips in the right position before and during his swing, and Chavez said the power hitter has "actually learned how to hit." "It's the best I've ever seen him. I'm very, very optimistic that Pete is going to have a monster year," Chavez said. Ideally, the 30-year-old will both refine his swing and chase bad pitches less frequently. The four-time All-Star bounced back in the batting average department last year, but his .788 OPS was a career-low, and his 34 homers were his fewest in a full season in his career. Staying in New York is a positive for his fantasy value, and fine-tuning his swing mechanics could indeed return Alonso to an elite power guy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

1 month agoNew York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (face) is ok after being hit by a ball in the face. Alonso was hit in the face during an infield drill on Thursday morning but was able to return to action later in the afternoon. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback. After being a free agent for the majority of the offseason, Alonso eventually resigned with the New York Mets. Earlier in February, Alonso signed a two-year $54 million contract. This deal includes an opt-out after the first season. Last season, the 30-year-old held a career-low .240/.329/.459 line with just 34 home runs and 88 RBI. During the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Alonso went deep at least 40 times and tallied at least 115 RBI in each campaign. Fantasy managers should expect Alonso to bat behind Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto in the everyday lineup, which should provide him with elite RBI opportunities that will set him up well for a bounce-back season.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

2 months agoAccording to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the New York Mets are re-signing first baseman Pete Alonso to a two-year deal worth $54 million. The contract contains an opt-out after the first season. Alonso has been in discussions with several teams during the offseason but will return to the Mets. The Blue Jays and Angels were among the teams that showed interest. During the offseason, the Mets signed superstar outfield Juan Soto to a record-breaking contract and will now bring back their first baseman as they pursue a championship. Alonso broke out at the MLB level during his first season and led the National League in home runs (53) en route to winning NL Rookie of the Year. This past season, Alonso had a down year by his standards and hit just 34 home runs with a .240/.329/.459 slash line. However, he generated a strong .461 xSLG, 13.2 percent barrel rate, and a 46.4 percent hard-hit rate, which suggests he should be poised to bounce back. Batting behind Francisco Lindor, Soto, and Brandon Nimmo should provide Alonso with elite RBI opportunities all season. He should be viewed as a top first baseman when looking for power and RBI upside.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
